Autobiography of acharya jagadish chandra bose road
AJC Bose Road & APC Road
Road in Kolkata, India
Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Road (earlier known as Lower Circular Road) and its continuation northwards called Acharya Prafulla Chandra Road (earlier known as Upper Circular Road), are together the longest and the most important north-south thoroughfare in Kolkata, India.
History
The road came upon the stretch that formed the Maratha Ditch that was dug in 1742 to protect the City from the Bargi invasions.[1] In 1799 the ditch was filled up and the current outline of the road built.
Until the 1870s, the Circular Road was considered the de facto eastern boundary of the City of Calcutta as the suburbs to its east, i.e. Manicktala, Rajabazar, Narikeldanga, Ultadanga, and Beliaghata were still semi-urban semi-rural villages.
Legacy
Named after the renowned chemist Acharya Prafulla Chandra Roy and the renowned physicist and botanist Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose.
